CAPTURED ON CAMERA: RARE BIRTH BY WEEDY SEA DRAGON

A rare and exciting event has taken place at SeaWorld Orlando over the past few days. One of our weedy sea dragons - which can normally be seen at our aquarium exhibit inside Manta - has given birth to his first few babies! Yes, you read that correctly - we did say HE gave birth!
This is the first time weedy sea dragon eggs have successfully hatched at a SeaWorld park and is considered a very rare occurrence in aquariums around the world. In fact, there have only been three other aquariums in the United States to successfully breed this species.
